For some reason, even though I’m subscribed to their RSS feed, I still get updates late from SAC. My feed was showing the previous deal (some goggles I think) and when I clicked it, the shirts popped up in XL only… that would have been a steal…

It’s not just you. It might be your RSS reader’s refresh time, but I yesterday I manually checked SAC and my RSS reader didn’t have the update for almost half an hour (on a 15-minute RSS refresh cycle). Odd thing is, sometimes I notice SAC going back to a previous deal.

If you want to feel bad about missing previous deals, check out SACattack.com.

The best, however, is leaving a window open, keeping an eye on the site and hitting F5 (refresh) when the qtys get low. Sometimes popular items, like goggles, sunglasses, woolwear and Arc’teryx are sold out in minutes.
